Industrial Model of Development
Productivity = labor productivity
Dominant model of development and globalization is inherently violent b/c it deprives the poor of fundamental rights e.g. access to land, food, and livelihoods.
People are commoditized and disposable
Emphasis on fossil-fuel and resource intensive approaches to development
Pseudo-Solutions to climate and food crisis:
2 dominant approaches:
Global Business Approach and Promoting renewable alternatives to support energy intensive, consumerist society.
“Consumer democracy is the gasoline for the bulldozer of globalization.
